Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 265

Neo devoured another Shadow inside the fifteenth door.

It belonged to a 30-year-old adventurer charting unexplored jungles and documenting ancient ruins.

The adventurer awakened the memories of his previous fourteen lives long ago when he was a child.

Being a naturally curious person, he set out to travel the world, and he tried to visit the places in his memories.

Awakening progress: 15/33 → 16/33

The next Shadows of Neo always gained the memories of their previous lives.

The sixteenth Shadow had the memories of the previous fifteen lives.

The twentieth Shadow had the memories of the previous nineteen lives.

In the beginning, those reincarnations of Neo lived peaceful lives.

Memories of past lives brought immense knowledge, experience, and wisdom.

It was good until the 23rd life.

The 23rd reincarnation couldn't handle the burden of memories of 23 lives.

It was breaking him apart.

He told his family about his memories, expecting comfort from them.

But he ended up being burned at the stake after being labeled as a witch.

The 24th reincarnation met a similar fate.

The 25th reincarnation decided to not trust anyone anymore.

He closed his heart and lived alone until the day of his death.

In the 26th life, he lived alone and died alone again.

The same thing repeated in the 27th life, 28th life, and 29th life.

The loneliness was gnawing at his heart.

Centuries of loneliness made him thirst for the warmth of others.

He wanted friends, he wanted family, he wanted love.

But...

The betrayal and brutal deaths of his previous reincarnations wouldn't let him trust anyone.

Alone.

He would live in loneliness and die in loneliness.

Again.

And again.

And again.

That was his Fate.

The reincarnations wouldn't end.

He thought nothing would change.

But he was wrong again.

In his 30th life, he was a chef in the royal palace under King Arthur.

The royal kitchen bustled with servants shouting orders, the clang of copper pots echoing across stone walls. The aroma of roasted meat and freshly baked bread filled the air.

He would be daily visited by the young Princess Morgan.

To him, it was nothing unusual.

She liked his cooking. Nothing more, nothing less.

But it caused the rumors about him eyeing the young Princess Morgan to spread.

A meager servant looking at the princess with ulterior motives was nothing to think twice about.

He would be executed.

No one saw anything wrong with it, and since he had held off from making friends, no one came forward to appeal for him and protect him.

A meaningless life and a meaningless death.

He didn't try to escape the execution or prove his innocence.

To him, it was how life was.

Sometimes unfair, sometimes unreasonable.

Surprisingly, or maybe unsurprisingly, Princess Morgan tried to stop the execution.
